VADOSE/W is a finite element CAD software product for analyzing flow from the environment, across the ground surface, through the

unsaturated vadose zone and into the local groundwater regime. Its comprehensive formulation allows the analysis of both simple and complex problems, from a simple analysis of ground infiltration due to rainfall, to a sophisticated model considering snow melt and root transpiration as well as surface evaporation, runoff, ponding, and gas diffusion. VADOSE/W can be applied to the analysis and design of geotechnical, mining, hydrogeological, agricultural, and civil engineering projects
